Patent EP-1122625-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ZOU HEDONG
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 1996-08-09
Abstract: A process control system (100) controls a process (110)
through a control output signal (u(t)) based on a set point
(Y SET ) and a measured process variable (y(t)). The process
control system (100) includes a control circuit having a set
point input, a process variable input and a control output.
The control circuit generates the control output signal
(u(t)) on the control output as a function of the set point
(Y SET ) received on the set point input and the measured
process variable (y(t)) received on the process variable
input. An auto-tuning circuit (106) excites the process
(110), estimates a process model based on a rising dead
time, a rising rate-of-change, a falling dead time and a
falling rate-of-change in the measured process variable
(y(t)) and then tunes the control function to the process
(110) based on the process model. The auto-tuning circuit
(106) obtains robust results, but is computationally simple
such that the circuit can be implemented with hardware or
software in low-power and low-memory applications, such as
in field-mounted control units.

Patent EP-1256924-A1 (EP)
Inventor: THEBAULT CEDRIC
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: With the new plasma display panel technology new kinds of
artefacts can occur in video pictures. These artefacts are
commonly described as "dynamic false contour effect", since
they correspond to disturbances of grey levels and colours
in the form of an apparition of coloured edges in the
picture, when the observation point on the PDP screen moves. 
     With the present invention, a solution able to eliminate the
false contour artefact while keeping a good picture quality
is proposed. This solution does without motion estimators. 
     The basic idea of the invention is to form a new code for
sub-field encoding, which permits to achieve p grey levels
(typically p = 256) among 2 n  different sub-field
arrangements, to select m grey levels (with m < p). These
specific grey levels, which correspond to specific sub-field
arrangements and thus sub-field code words, are chosen in
such a way that the sub-field code words of similar grey
levels will have similar sub-field arrangements, in order to
reduce the false contour artefacts. One important rule how
the close codes can be selected from the set of available
sub-field code words is to select only those video levels
having assigned sub-field code words, in which a temporal
centre of gravity (CG1, CG2, CG3) for the light generation
increases monotonously when the video levels are ordered
according to size. Only some exceptions are allowed in the
low video level and high video level ranges.

Abstract: A digital system and method of operation is provided in which the digital
system has at least one processor, with an associated multi-segment cache memory
circuit (506(n). A single global validity circuit (VIG) is connected to the memory
circuit and is operable to indicate if any segment of the multiple segments holds
valid data. Block transfer circuitry (700, 702) is connected to the memory circuit
and is operable to transfer a block of data (1650) to a selected portion of segments
(1606) of the cache memory circuit. The block circuitry is operable to transfer data
from a pre-selected region of the secondary memory (1650) to a particular segment
of the plurality of segments and to assert the global valid bit at the completion of a
block transfer. Direct memory access (DMA) circuitry (1610) is connected to the
memory cache for transferring data between the memory cache and a selectable
region (1650) of a secondary memory and is also operable to assert the global valid
bit at the completion of a DMA block transfer. The cache can be operated in a first
manner such that when a transfer request from the processor requests a first
location in the cache memory that does not hold valid data, valid data is transferred
(1652) from a pre-selected location in a secondary memory that corresponds directly
to the first location. The cache can then be operated in a second manner such that
data is transferred (1662) between the first location and a selectable location in the
secondary memory, wherein the selected location need not directly correspond to the
first location.

Abstract: A joint made between prestressing strands with a
prestressing strand coupler is covered with a transparent
coupler sheath having a retarded-hardening resin filling
material injection opening and discharge opening provided
in a tube wall thereof, and a resin filling material is
injected into the transparent coupler sheath from the
injection opening to fill the coupler sheath with the
filling material. Thereafter, the whole outer peripheral
portion of the prestressing strand joint, including the
coupler sheath, is embedded with placed concrete. Tension
is applied to the prestressing strands after the concrete
has hardened and before the resin filling material hardens,
thereby completing an excellent prestressing strand joint
structure. 
     According to the present invention, the filling
condition of the resin filling material in the coupler
sheath around the prestressing strand joint can readily be
confirmed by visual observation. Therefore, the operation
of filling the filling material can be carried out
completely. 
     Further, the wedges present in the prestressing
strand coupler are allowed to properly bite into the
prestressing strands in response to the prestressing
strand tensioning operation performed before the filling
material hardens. Thus, a superior joint structure is
provided.

Abstract: In connection with the segmenting of a digital image divided into small elements (pixels) and acquired with a camera having several color channels, to discern an object from a background, the daylight locus and the color locus of the camera are, a priori, modeled after to the body reflectance characteristic of the subject. In this way a normal vector (nS) to the daylight locus is determined a priori and for each pixel, the scalar product between a color vector (cf) of the element in the form of the response from the color channels of the camera and the normal vector of the daylight locus is calculated, following which the element is characterized as representing object or background on basis of the calculation result, the elements characterized as objects (1) being assigned one value and the elements characterized as background being assigned a second value. On basis of the segmented image a control signal for an implement (4) is derived.
